62 • Concept innovation: as the creator of the Sports Activity
Vehicle, BMW is now presenting the world's first Sports Activity
Coupé. • The BMW X6 offers a brand-new, innovative
interpretation of the features and design qualities typical of a large
BMW Coupé. And at the same time it is the most sporting and
dynamic rendition of a BMW X Model. Through its design alone, the BMW
X6 authentically visualises superior driving dynamics and outstanding
supremacy. • Individual and extravagant looks: sporting, striking
front end with large air intakes, stretched side-line, low greenhouse,
clear emphasis on the wheels as an expression of powerful presence,
classic coupé proportions, generous, convex-concave surfaces,
sweeping flow of the roofline into the powerful rear end. • The
BMW X6 comes as standard with BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive
technology and is the first vehicle in the world to offer Dynamic
Performance Control for unique agility, tracking stability, precision
and traction in every situation. Variable distribution of drive power is
thus ensured not just between the front and rear axle - by xDrive - but
also, by means of Dynamic Performance Control, between the two rear
wheels, left and right. This maintains a superior stabilising function
even under sudden load change and in overrun. • Newly developed
top-of-the-range power unit: V8 petrol engine with Twin Turbo
technology and direct petrol injection (High Precision Injection), the
world's first 8-cylinder petrol engine with the turbo-charger and
catalytic converters housed in the V-section between the two rows of
cylinders. This innovative arrangement ensures uniquely compact
dimensions and serves to reduce pressure losses on the intake and
exhaust side. Capacity 4,395 cc, max output 300 kW/407 hp from
5,500-6,400 rpm, max torque 600 Nm/442 lb-ft from 1,750-4,500 rpm. Most
efficient engine in its class, outperforming ULEV II and EU5 emission
standards, BMW EfficientDynamics combined with maximum power and
performance. • Unique range of power units: V8 petrol engine with
Twin Turbo (300 kW/407 bhp), in-line 6-cylinder with Twin Turbo (225
kW/306 bhp), in-line 6-cylinder diesel with Variable Twin Turbo (210
kW/286 bhp), in-line 6-cylinder diesel with turbocharger (173 kW/235
bhp). • Six-speed automatic transmission with optimised gearshift
dynamics standard on all engine variants, extremely fast gearshift,
supreme shift comfort, optimisation of fuel economy by converter
lock-up clutch operating largely free of slip, electronic gear selector
lever and gearshift paddles on the steering wheel featured as standard.
• The BMW X6 boasts a body structure conceived and designed for
maximum occupant safety. In combination with the car's passive safety
systems, this fulfils all prerequisites for excellent results in all
crash-tests relevant the world over. Occupant safety is ensured among
other things by three-point inertia-reel seat belts on all seats,
frontal and side airbags as well as head airbags at the side, and
crash-activated headrests at the front. Bi-xenon dual headlights
including a daytime light function, fog lamps, two-stage brake lights,
and runflat tyres all come as standard. • Innovative body and
interior concept: 4-door coupé with large tailgate opening far
up to the top, high-quality, sophisticated interior with a sporty and
luxurious ambience, four seats, large, highly adjustable luggage
compartment (570-1,450 litres/20.0-50.8 cu ft). • Interior design
underlining the outstanding, sporting character of the BMW X6. Leather
sports steering wheel with multifunction buttons and gearshift paddles
featured as standard, centre console with knee pads for the driver and
front passenger, front seats with versatile adjustment, in part
electric, two rear seats with individual seat contours typical of a
coupé and integrated headrests. • Suspension and driver
assistance systems (optional) exclusive to BMW: Adaptive Drive
(anti-roll and adaptive dampers), Active Steering, Head-Up Display,
Adaptive Headlights with variable light distribution and turning light,
High Beam Assistant, cruise control with brake function. • Wide
range of comfort functions and innovative entertainment options: BMW
iDrive with personalised favourite buttons, CD-player compatible with
an MP3, AUX-in bush featured as standard, USP socket, multichannel audio
system, DVD system at the rear, 4-zone automatic air conditioning,
Active Seat Ventilation, back-up camera, navigation systems, BMW
Assist, BMW Online, BMW TeleServices optional. • The BMW X6 is
manufactured exclusively for the world market at the BMW Spartanburg
plant in South Carolina/USA according to the company's high quality
standards which apply worldwide. Production at this site is highly
flexible according to customer wishes. Currently, the BMW X6, BMW X5
and BMW Z4 are built on a shared assembly line at the Spartanburg plant.
